Outdoor Burning - Do I need a Permit?

In 2022, the City of Bandera adopted the 2018 International Fire Code as stated in Article 5.04 of our ordinances. 

Section 307 of the 2018 IFC Amendments states outdoor burning is prohibited unless a permit has been issued by the City.  A link to the full Amendments document can be found in ordinance §5.04.002

A completed Burn Permit Application must be submitted to the office, either in person or, emailed to stephanie.biggs@banderatx.gov

The application includes the full amendment and must be signed before a permit will be issued.  There is no charge for the permit. 

Permits will not be issued when Bandera County is under a burn ban.  Call the Sheriff's Office at 830-796-4507 to inquire about burn ban status.
